Bison Burgers for Thanksgiving

We planned to go to a local buffet for a traditional turkey dinner for thanksgiving. I haven't eaten beef  for more than 20 years but I saw ground bison meat at the grocery store recently and bought several packages.. The package said the meat came from North Carolina and the meat contains no hormones or antibiotics. Bison meat is much leaner than beef and the texture is more dense. I decided we'd have a non traditional thanksgiving dinner right in our motorhome rather than going to eat.

I sauteed a little minced garlic in butter and formed the bison meat into patties and placed them in the pan. Amazingly the formed patties stayed together without the addition of any egg or liquid and thickener.

After the patties were cooked on one side I turned them over and poured some mild steak marinade over them and placed a small pat of white cheddar on top. I covered the pan and cooked the bison burgers through. They were delicious but I thought they might be even better on a grill. I can't wait to have an outdoor BBQ again. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
